Designing Inclusive Growth: Universal Design Matthias Hollwich, AIA Beth Greenberg FAIA, Principal at Dattner Architects Van Alen Institute

Designing Inclusive Growth is a monthly dialogue on the future of development in . In intimate conversations with leading urbanists and thinkers, we’ll examine what’s propelling New York City’s growth and development, why some have benefited while others have been left behind, and ideas for supporting greater inclusion and shared prosperity through design.

This city is home to a staggeringly diverse population -- elderly people, working families with young children, people living with physical and cognitive impairment, non-native English speakers. How well our environments serve this kaleidoscopic array of interests and needs will surely influence how inclusive our economy and society becomes in the future.

For the final discussion in our Designing Inclusive Growth series, we’ll explore the potential of universal design to help people of all abilities and at all stages of life live well. With our featured guests, we’ll rethink our collective view of what’s possible for people of different abilities and ages, examine how designers can incorporate universal design principles into their practice, and imagine a city that truly provides useability, safety, health, grace, and dignity for all people.

The Decorated Tenement Zachary Violette, lecturer at Parsons School of Design The Skyscraper Museum

In The Decorated Tenement: How Immigrant Builders and Architects Transformed the Slum in the Gilded Age, ​ ​ historian Zachary Violette counters the standard narrative of crowded tenements and crusading urban reformers to reconstruct the role of tenement architects and builders in improving housing for the working poor. Drawing on research and fieldwork that surveyed more than 3,000 extant tenement buildings in New York and Boston, Violette uses ornament as an entry point of his study, employing both new contemporary photography and many never-before-published historical images. His work complicates the monolithic notions 5/32

of architectural taste and housing standards, while broadening our understanding of the diversity of cultural and economic positions of those responsible for shaping American architecture and urban landscapes.

Single-Handedly: Contemporary Architects Draw by Hand ​ Nalina Moses, author General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen

Join the General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen for a book talk with Nalina Moses. Her book, Single-Handedly: Contemporary Architects Draw by Hand is an inspiring collection of 220 hand drawings by more than 40 emerging architects and well-known practitioners from around the world. Part of the generation of architects who were trained to draw both by hand and with digital tools, New York-based architect Nalina Moses recently returned to hand drawing. Finding it to be a direct, and intuitive process, she wondered whether other architects felt the same way. Single-Handedly is the result of this inquiry. ​ ​ Ms. Moses's book explores the reasons digitally-trained architects draw by hand and gives testimony to the continued vitality of hand drawing in the profession. The powerful yet intimate drawings carry larger propositions about materials, space, and construction, and each one stands on its own as a work of art.

Hidden Hell’s Kitchen Tour Patrick Waldo Historic Districts Council

Today’s crowds enjoy Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen for its active nightlife, the wide array of cuisine, and its Off-Broadway theatre district. But take a closer look at the clues visible throughout the neighborhood and you will see a history of Hell’s Kitchen that has been left out of guide books, and ignored by plaques and markers. Fading painted letters on a brick chimney reveal the former factory of one of America’s most famous candy makers. A popular family playground hides its scarred past as the scene of a senseless murder that rocked the nation and inspired a Broadway musical. From the building that gave us such iconic songs as “Imagine” and “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” to the birthplace of the hit show “Seinfeld,” surprises await intrepid explorers on every block of Hell’s Kitchen. Join preservationist and tour guide Patrick Waldo as they explore these locations and many more, delving into the rich cultural and architectural history of one of New York’s most legendary neighborhoods.

This discussion among urban and housing historians Richard Plunz, James Sanders, and Carol Willis will consider the early 20th-century alternative models of decentralizing the dense tenement districts of the Lower East Side through the construction of garden apartments in the boroughs or by the short-lived trend in the late 1920s to erect skyscraper complexes such as Tudor City and London Terrace in Manhattan.

Codex New York: Typologies of the City Stanley Greenberg, author Kevin Baker, novelist Open House New York

Open House New York invites you to a conversation with photographer Stanley Greenberg and novelist Kevin Baker about Greenberg’s new book Codex New York: Typologies of the City.

Observing physical characteristics that most people miss, Stanley Greenberg’s Codex New York reveals the city as a vast catalog of elements that repeat, morph, and multiply–block by block, neighborhood by neighborhood. The result of countless explorations and documentations, his array of architectural and infrastructural features– alleys, sky bridges, parking sheds, relics, little streets, water infrastructure, and more–combine to create an incomparable visual chronicle of the city. Organized into categories, the photographs prompt deeper meanings of the relationships between our surroundings and the way we use the city. They also serve as a temporal marker for the many empty spaces that have already been built upon, obscuring and replacing a former reality that now exists only in images. As a testament to the ever-changing city, this idiosyncratic field guide ultimately presents new understandings of what New York is made of and how it is remade time and time again.

Art Wars! The Met, MOMA and the Whitney, and What Each Will Argue Is Art Deborah Zelcer, licensed NYC Tour Guide ProwlerNYC Walking Tours

Their goal was to elevate the level of refinement of the average American, and prove that we could be preoccupied with more than the almighty Buck! On this pleasant Museum Mile trek, they will discover how the keepers of our first cultural collections defined art and decided what would or would not hang within their walls, in the process competing with each other and the highbrow institutions overseas. Learn how our premier cultural institutions would later be at the vanguard of the Cold War battle for hearts and minds.

This is an outdoor tour focusing on museum architecture as a reflection of their founders and the collections inside.

Classicism and the Golden Age Clive Aslet, architectural historian Institute of Classical Architecture & Art

Classicism responds to a deep desire of the human mind to unite with an ideal past. The history of classicism is a history of revivals, each looking back to a Golden Age. Each revival makes its own contribution to the classical tradition, because none completely recreates the work of the past but adapts

The NEW New York: Italians in the Village James Nevius, co-author of Inside the Apple: A Streetwise History of NYC ​ Merchant’s House and Village Preservation

After the Civil War, hundreds of thousands of Italian immigrants came to America, most of them making New York City their first stop. While the Lower East Side and Little Italy are well-known for their immigrant history, many may not remember that the area south of Washington Square was one of the most densely populated Italian precincts in the country.

This illustrated presentation will look at how the Village came to be separated into a wealthier area north and west of Washington Square and a more working-class neighborhood to the south and east. They’ll look at who paved the way for Italians in the district and talk about the importance of holding on to the Italian places that still exist in the area so as to preserve this heritage.

2019 Conference Urban Green Council

On May 18, New York City enacted Local Law 97 of 2019, the most ambitious climate legislation for buildings enacted by any city in the world. This historic law sets tough carbon emissions caps for energy use in NYC’s largest buildings starting in 2024. The new legislation impacts about 50,000 buildings and will lead to thousands of building retrofits each year.

To comply with these regulations, building retrofits will have to occur on a scale never before experienced in NYC—or anywhere else. Retrofitting to Scale will explore solutions for NYC and other metro areas. What are the barriers to upgrading buildings now? What must change to make scaling retrofits feasible? What business opportunities will emerge? They will explore these questions over three thought-provoking sessions.

A Universal Language in Stone and Steel: Architectural Poetics, Globally Considered Institute of Classical Architecture & Art

When one hears the phrase “classical architecture,” it is usually the forms of the Classical Mediterranean that come to mind: Greco-Roman columns and pediments, with perhaps a sprinkling of Egyptian pyramids and a dash of Assyrian tile. There are, however, other cultural periods that have been described as “classical”—scholars speak of Classical Chinese culture, the Classic Maya, and the Classical period of Ile-Ife in ancient Nigeria. Great achievements in art and architecture have taken place all over the world, and there are striking similarities between different traditions, including the architectural poetics of structural elaboration, human-scaled proportion, and ornamental pattern. These similarities are meaningful, because they point to the kinship shared by all human beings. This course will offer a provocative introduction to a broader conception of the “classical,” and pose the argument that classicists working today would do well to demonstrate how their work speaks a universal language of value to the greater human family.

Whose Streets? Reclaiming NYC for Cyclists Antonio Reynoso, NYC Council Member Helen Ho, co-founder of the Biking Public Project Judi Desire, founder of Uptown & Boogie Bicycle Advocacy Adam Mansky, Transportation Alternatives Museum of the City of New York

Over 800,000 New Yorkers are now riding a bicycle regularly (NYC DOT). As the subways falter, transit fares increase and the streets grow ever more congested, cycling offers a more efficient way to get around the city, becoming a key part of the city’s commuting network. However, cyclists’ attempts to share the streets with cars and pedestrians continue to stir intense community debates around issues of safety and regulation. How can we rethink the relationship between cycling and the city for the benefit of all?

Join the Museum of the City of New York for a conversation with urban planners, biking advocates and experts about how New York City could achieve a shared “right to the road” for everyone, on two wheels or otherwise. Featuring NYC Council Member Antonio Reynoso; Helen Ho,co-founder of the Biking Public Project; Judi Desire, founder of Uptown & Boogie Bicycle Advocacy; and Adam Mansky of Transportation Alternatives.

Bard Graduate Center Jan Tschichold and the New Typography: Graphic Design Between the World Wars

Tracing the revolution in graphic design in the 1920s, this exhibition displays materials assembled by typographer and designer Jan Tschichold (1902–1974) in Weimar Germany. Published in Berlin in 1928, Tschichold’s book Die Neue Typographie was one of the key texts of modern design, partly due to its grasp of Constructivist ideas and new print technology, but equally, because it was a manual for practicing designers. In the years leading up to its publication, Tschichold struck up a correspondence with many European artist-designers, including Kurt Schwitters, El Lissitzky, László Moholy-Nagy, Herbert Bayer, Piet Zwart, and Ladislav Sutnar, among others. In the course of this, Tschichold exchanged and acquired many examples of their design work, some pieces now quite famous (such as El Lissitzky’s Pro dva kvadrata [The Story of Two Squares], 1920) while other items are modest and ephemeral, such as tourist brochures, handbills, headed notepaper, product catalogues, and magazine advertisements. This collection, purchased by Philip Johnson and donated to the Museum of Modern Art, will form the basis of this exhibition, tracing the development of the new ideas that revolutionized graphic design in the 1920s.

Brooklyn Navy Yard Brooklyn Navy Yard: Past, Present, and Future “Brooklyn Navy Yard: Past, Present and Future” tells for the first time the story of the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard, the 300-acre site nestled on the world-famous Brooklyn waterfront. Established in 1801 as one of the nation's first five naval shipyards, over 165 years the Yard developed into the nation’s premiere naval industrial facility.

Today, it is home to the greatest concentration of manufacturing and green businesses in New York City. This exhibition explores contributions made at the Yard to American industry, technology, innovation and manufacturing. Visitors will learn about the Yard's impact on labor, politics, education, and urban and environmental planning as well as discover some of the over 400 businesses that call the Yard home today.

Displayed over three floors in historic BLDG 92- built in 1858 for the Marine Commandant’s residence, this exhibition introduces to contemporary audiences the generations of people who worked, transformed, lived, and shaped the Yard over time and who continue to build upon the storied history of the Brooklyn Navy Yard into the future.

How do public buildings like schools, firehouses, and libraries end up in your community, and who had a say in how they got there?

Mapping Community demystifies the complex process of capital planning in New York City by explaining the rules that govern the capital process for our city, the various city agencies that implement projects, and the ways everyday New Yorkers have a say in what types of investment they would like to see in their neighborhoods.

The exhibition will also look at how public projects are accomplished at the local community level by illustrating five types of public infrastructure—housing, transit, parks, schools, and libraries—in five community boards.

The Graduate Center, CUNY The Lung Block: A New York City Slum & Its Forgotten Italian Immigrant Community

In 1933, a lively Italian immigrant enclave on the Lower East Side was wiped from the map. Though this area was in many ways indistinguishable from the rest of the Lower East Side – a bustling, immigrant stronghold characterized by densely populated tenement buildings – since 1899, this particular block existed under the shadow of a sinister narrative: that death was embedded in the very walls of those buildings, and that this Lung Block – the generic term for a place where tuberculosis proliferated – represented a threat not just to the residents, but to the city at large.

As part of a larger show on display at Department of Records building at 31 Chambers Street, beginning April 25, 2019, this exhibition draws upon Stefano Morello and Kerri Culhane’s recent scholarship to look at the progressive narrative of the Lung Block as the slum-epicenter of disease, contrasting it with the lived experience of the majority Italian immigrant tenement dwellers living in the area, thus redressing a glaring omission in the historical record.

The discourse surrounding the Lung Block illustrates a typical pattern of slum-making and gentrification, and in many ways typified the plight and perceived perils of the Lower East Side immigrant in the popular imagination. At this time – when anti-immigrant sentiment has been brought to the fore on the political stage; the very real connection between health and housing continues to be explored; and affordable housing and gentrification remain among the most contentious topics in local debate – the Lung Block story has many parallels in the present.

Judd Foundation Lauretta Vinciarelli Lauretta Vinciarelli is an exhibition of architectural drawings by the architect and artist on the ground floor of 101 Spring Street in New York. Vinciarelli (1943-2011) occupies a place of historic importance in the 1970s revival of architectural drawings and architectonic trends in contemporary painting.

Vinciarelli’s contributions to the field of architecture are evident in her drawing practice. Using an approach that focused on architectural typologies and the shared fundamental building types that persist over time, Vinciarelli developed a method of “drawing as research” vividly demonstrated in her colored pencil and watercolor architectural proposals and drawings from the 1970s and 1980s. As she described in a 1978 lecture: “Architects are asking the question: ‘how can we do [make] architecture that people can understand?’ …And my question is: ‘in what way can we do an architecture which is recognizable?’ And in my opinion the adherence to historical types can help.”

The exhibition includes twenty-three drawings for gardens and structures in West Texas and in Puglia, Italy. Judd purchased a number of Vinciarelli’s drawings, including the Puglia project, shortly after their realization. The additional drawings and watercolors in the exhibition were generously gifted to Judd Foundation by

The World Between Empires: Art and Identity in the Ancient Middle East For over three centuries, the territories and trading networks of the Middle East were contested between the Roman and Parthian Empires (ca. 100 B.C.–A.D. 250), yet across the region life was not defined by these two superpowers alone. Local cultural and religious traditions flourished, and sculptures, wall paintings, jewelry, and other objects reveal how ancient identities were expressed through art. Featuring 190 works from museums in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States, this exhibition follows a journey along the great incense and silk routes that connected cities in southwestern Arabia, Nabataea, Judaea, Syria, and Mesopotamia, making the region a center of global trade. Several of the archaeological sites featured, including Palmyra, Dura-Europos, and Hatra, have been damaged in recent years by deliberate destruction and looting, and the exhibition also examines these events and responses to them.

Skyscraper Museum Housing Density: From Tenements to Towers What is density? Does the word describe a condition of people or place? Is it people crowded together? Buildings too tightly spaced, or too tall? Or is it a lack of open space on ground level?

There is a difference between built density, which measures the area of the ground covered by structures, and population density, which calculates the average number of people in a given area. This exhibition emphasizes the distinction, which describes two very different aspects of the urban experience.

Arguments about density have shaped and reshaped the city. It is understandable that critics and reformers of tenement life and slum conditions would view open space and sunlight as the antidote for overcrowding. In the 1930s through the 1960s, planners, architects, and public officials created public- and publicly-assisted housing with both extremely low built density and far fewer residents than the tenement blocks they replaced – or that the private market developed on similar rebuilt blocks.

In the 1960s, critics led by Jane Jacobs and others debunked the orthodoxy of "towers in the park" in favor of traditional neighborhoods. Density today remains a hyper-charged concept – a negative to many who equate it with overcrowding – or a positive value for those who believe it creates vibrant and more affordable neighborhoods. Whatever one believes about its relative merits, we can all agree that understanding density better is a first step to meaningful dialogue about the future of the city.

The Glass House Gay Gatherings: Philip Johnson, David Whitney and the Modern Arts Gay Gatherings: Philip Johnson, David Whitney and the Modern Arts explores interactions at the Philip Johnson-designed Glass House among eight gay men who profoundly shaped 20th-century artistic culture: architect Philip Johnson and his longtime partner, curator/collector David Whitney; composer

30/32

John Cage; choreographer Merce Cunningham; ballet impresario Lincoln Kirstein; and artists Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Andy Warhol.

Gay Gatherings will be presented in two buildings on the Glass House site: Da Monsta and the Painting Gallery. The exhibition begins in Da Monsta with a specially created digital presentation. The presentation visually showcases the relationships among the exhibition’s key figures, both at the Glass House and other cultural venues from Harvard University to The Museum of Modern Art, Lincoln Center, and the site of the 1964 New York World’s Fair. This presentation is rooted in maps of the estate; works of art; photographs by David McCabe, Christopher Makos, and others; and vintage films, including footage of the opening of the New York State Theater, designed by Johnson for the New York City Ballet that was co-founded by Kirstein, and Cunningham and Cage’s “Country Happening” performance at the Glass House in 1967. The presentation’s maps serve to indicate the locations on the property where interactions took place or artworks are on view, including the Brick House (or Guest House), the Painting Gallery, the Sculpture Gallery, the Pond Pavilion, the meadow, the Lincoln Kirstein Tower, and the Glass House itself.

Ranging from mixed-use development to memorials, the student designs preserve the existing open space and green escape that Governors Island has become for the City, while charting out a sustainable future with even greater benefits for NYC. The drawings and models on display both describe the island’s existing geography and develop new ideas for public debate, balancing responses to challenges—sea level rise and economic imperatives—with proposals that could diversify and extend the role of the island within its metropolitan landscape.
